I, for one, haven't replied because I've been away since my last post and then spent all weekend stripping out an old caravan back to bare walls I've recently bought plus welding up the frame to get my CNC router upright at last :D

Valdis in Reply to your PM then can't see any major issues with the design. Couple of small suggestions but other than these nothing seriously wrong.

#1 I would brace the connection between bearing plate and gantry side.

#2 Would bring the rails on the Gantry to front slot to lessen the lever affect.

#1 If I move rails to the front slot i will have bigger gap between gantry and Z axis back plate (at the moment it is 3mm) if I am using wide carriages. Maybe i could use the narrow ones the same like on Z axis?

#2 How i could brace that connection? I have some of these so i could use them.
They are 40x40 and 6mm thickness.

I was going from your pics which looked like wide gap between z rear plate and gantry profile. Without seeing better view then can't comment further.

No wouldn't use those and would go with something like your second option.

Some small update from me :)
During last days as i been advised moved Y axis rails to the front slot, then made a bit smaller plate on which going Z axis motor so saved some unnecesary weight. Now trying to find out the cable routes..

For the cables and water pipes on the gantry I done a channel from 1mm sheet metal just to see how it looks. Not sure if it will be strong enough to hold the chain.. Any suggestions on that?

Started to look for the companies which does aluminuum extrusions, got some quotes. The best price for all the extrusions seen in my model was £340, which is bit more than i expected, but i guess thats the price for them. Does anyone knows a good supplier for them where i could get for the best price? Thanks guys.
